Why is it a four
What do we need to teach in order to make it a four?
Donna Merin:
here is an idea—go over the stages of the writing process, then, working in pairs have teachers draft pieces of writing using the three modes: informational, narrative, persuasive—or divide into groups according to the mode then pair to produce the piece. Then use the scoring guide to talk about the piece produced and also to think about how Student Writing can be improved using the scoring guide as a guide.
